Guitar Insight is a social network for guitar players. It is also the name of my book on theory and technique. I agree with your stepping up into triads and inversions-everything in time. I get into very advanced theory with my pro students. ie. upper triad extensions, TTS, and quartal harmony. Thanks, Steve
Hey "Robot" point taken man. some of the semantics we're talking about are just due to the soundbite like nature of presenting a You Tube vid. In my actual lessons I strive for total clarity on all things. What you and I may take for granted, a student often can't grasp-unless it is presented from many different angles. The beauty of music theory is 99.9% of it isn't debatable-it's the math and science of music (which is why most students hate it!) The art is what you do with it. Guitar Insight
Good question. It depends. the fingering your using is great for changing to a 5th string root chord-this is what Billy Joe does-a great rhythm player. Using fingers 1,3and 4 is more stable for an intermediatte player. Hey-come see Guitar Insight Social Info Network! Steve
Yeah especially through a system with a sub woofer! Thanks! You'reright of course-it's direct-a BR-1600(Soldano patch) into Edirol USB capture. All hail Steely!
Good question! Here goes: Chords are named by the intervals-distances between the scale degrees-that they are made up of. Okay- Take the chord A5, this means it's root is A and it's other note is E, FIVE notes higher. Here's another example: If C is the root note, or name of the chord, G would be the fifth because it's FIVE letters away from C. I explain this in more detail in my book! Just play the crap out of this chord!!
Hey musicchopper: I'm going to take the time to clear up your confusion with your theory misconceptions and not even try to charge you for it! point 1: you made the classic mistake with intervals-you didn't include the note you are on. ie. C-G is a fifth C,D,E,F,G there are no exceptions to this rule-only added #'s or flats ie B toF# still 5 letters but the F has to be raised for the key of B. Point 2: an add 9 chord has a 3rd present-stacked fifths are just that-only fifths. see Pt.2

whta do u mean by fif
th
oh yeah i get it
The 'fat' power chord I love but technically isn't a power chord. Not trying to be a smart ass. It is a Root 4th not Root 5th so it is a Root Sus 4.
